My two pence... cents?

THE REVIEW: NOUGHTS & CROSSES
It is about to be a stage show, and the BBC drama is already in the works, not to mention the 5th book is on the way so if you didn't get stuck into Noughts & Crosses when you were a kid the time to start is now. Other than the Harry Potter series I…
Another Letter To My ‘Fro
I wrote a letter to my hair back in the spring of 2016. The photo accompanying that post actually went viral but that isn't why I did it. Or why we are back here. I wrote the letter because after more than 10 years of relaxing my hair I had finally come to terms with…

IG:TV Launch
Today I launch IG:TV on my instagram channel. You may have noticed that I haven't posted hair/ beauty videos in a while but that is because I was thinking of a way to still produce the content but on a better/ larger scale. I am not really into Youtube and don't know how realistic using…
What Is In A Name?
Let's discuss My name is Olayinka Leigh-Catherine Bokinni. My name is the thing that defines me instantly, before you know anything about me. My title, the thing that makes people stop and stare as if not quite knowing if I’m serious. "Ohhhh... Lar?" Is that how you say it? Bokinni? Like bikini? What girls wear…
